Japanese University Event Performance Photography
So over the weekend, my kids had a soccer training tournament that they were not supposed to be at. We thought we had the Saturday free to spend with the twins, a very rare occasion as they are usually out doing soccer practice and tournaments on the weekends. But some dumbass kid bailed last minute and the coach asked if my boys would play even through the tournament was below their age level. And there went the family weekend.
But interestingly, the soccer tournament took place at a University in which an event was taking place. There was food on sale, bingo games, prizes to be won and live bands on stage. At some point I decided to take out my camera and snap a few pics of the performances.
One thing I gripe about is the fact that the kids and soccer take up so much of our time, time we could be using to earn money to pay for the said activities, but luckily, I know my way around the blockchain and I could be at my kids soccer matches, take a few photos of the event taking place around it, show my youngest a good time through some games and activities the event offered as well as earn even a fraction of a penny by posting the photos I took.
Look out for a kid almost sleeping during the performances, that is my youngest. We mostly hung-out together at the event and popped into the twins' soccer games now and then. We visited a couple food stalls, went on stage and entered a game ( he won 500 Yen ) and watched the performances, well, I watched them. enjoy the photos.
Now you might be wondering, why didn't I take pics of the kids soccer games? Well, they were not supposed to be there, they were playing against kids younger than them and taking pictures of soccer games does get boring at times.
Okay, I spotted the sleeping child and I claim my prize (picture 16) 😂.
I'm guessing the twins enjoyed playing? There'll be another family day some time.
Interestingly he usually lies a live performance. Not sure what happened 😂
They did but just looking on the field and seeing these talk guys compared to the others, you knew it wasn't fair.
🤣 I was looking for the food stalls picture! Did you take any or did you forget taking the pics? What type of food do they typically sell at places like these?
Ah yes. That was tricky to take those pics as the youngest needed the attention then buying him food and whatnot. During the performances was the only time he was kinda sitting around. But trust me there were some interesting characters and foods at the events. 😂 now I’m hitting myself thinking that could have been a whole other post.
I don't like when I have to change my weekend plans, so I probably would have made an excuse to get out of it 😂 but in the end it doesn't look too bad - food, music, time spent with the family... and as you said, you managed to take some photos to share them here, so it's a success 😊
Sometimes you gotta just go with the flow. My boys love soccer too, so for them it was good. Glad the event was taking place around the soccer matches because of it wasn’t I’d be one screw faced dad 👨
